Hi folks. I'm a fibre junky. If it involves cloth, string, rope, of fiber I'm likely to be interested. I'm usually found knitting or doing something else involving string. At the moment, one of my on...fibre research projects is trying to find information on when different fibres (namely wool and silk) started to be spun together. I go by Bridgette in the SCA, and I live up here in AEthelmearc

Greetings fellow fiber-fiends! I am Finnseach de Locheil, a 7th century Orcadian Pict. I spin, weave, crochet, knit, dye, embroider, research and so on. ;) I hail from the Shire of Dernehealde, in the...than American Soay). I'm still working on the sheep that the Romans introduced to the British Isles about 45AD. I am working my way through ML Ryder's Sheep & Man (aka "The Scottish Porn Book") ;)

And I just love it. Nice and warm and a little bit bigger than the ones I've gotten at the store. And it's stretchy and it will wrap nicely and drape over everybody! and I can work on other stuff and not feel like something's unfinished and needs to be!

The pattern has settled in, finally (I am not an experienced crochetter, I make lots of mistakes) Sorry for the hurried photo, I should SO be asleep.

I must REALLY like KrazyFiberKat, otherwise I would not be uo at this ungodly hour... I am accompanying her & hers to the Longbranch Improvement Club Fiber Arts Festival. http://www.longbranchimprovementclub.org/ Should be entertaining. I hope they have coffee.

So I've got some grandiose (and some not so grandiose) schemes for making stuff out of my alpaca fleece. I was going to go out and visit the alpacs today, but there was a monsoon, so instead I spent the... Looks like an awful lot, but I weighed it and it's a whopping 4 ounces! I've had kittens born that weigh more than that! Anywho, I think it will be enough to do a small felting project tomorrow :
